1. Seen none of them. Heard Capote was mostly good because of
the acting.

2. I suggest instead:
If you haven't seen these already:


Syriana

The Constant Gardner

Good Night, and Good Luck

Brokeback Mountain

all worth seeing in theatres.

6. I saw two of those....

Good Night was riveting, wasn't it?

Brokeback was good, but it's hard for me to really get into "feelings" type movies. It wasn't as mushy as Bridges of Madison County (YECH!!!), but...

:-)

8. If Constant Gardner is still playing in your town I highly recommend it
It is a romance and a thriller. Amazing acting and beautiful scenery. and Ralph Finnes!

9. Sorry, but CG put me to sleep.....
twice. I was watching it at home (don't ask how) and the wife had to wake me twice.
Mr. Finnes did an excellent job (as always) but the pacing and direction was way slow.
I recommend Capote.

10. Well OK - it was a bit slow- that's why I suggest seeing it in the theater
I tend to doze watching any movie at home on my comfy couch. It sucks but I do that- cause usually we watch the movie after a big meal full of carbs...but I digress...

I still recommend it. I plan to see Capote soon, too.

7. I heard Capote was good..

...but I don't know. Sounds like it might be really dark and heavy...

Glory Road is on, and I've seen that -- it was really good!
